The clipboard is an essential part of any operating system, but it is limited to copying a single item at a time. If you need to copy the same text fragment on different occasions, a third party application will be more than helpful. With ClipFast, you can manage your notes or other text items and paste them in any application with keyboard shortcuts. The application provides a comfortable interface with easy to understand functions, which relieve you from copying text fragments more than once when you want to paste them at a later date.

If you are using Windows 8 or a previous version, down to Windows XP, then you can install and use ClipFast without any difficulties. The setup file is 1.20 MB, which should not take long to download. You can also complete the installation procedure in just a few seconds.

Notes can be created and stored instantly. You just need to click a button, type a title for your new note and paste the text. Alternatively, you can hit a different option, to paste the clipboard's contents as a new note. You can type in the same search box to locate notes or titles, which are displayed separately.

When you want to use a note's contents, you may select a Copy option, on the program's toolbar, to copy the text to the clipboard. The interface can be minimized to the system tray, so you can bring up the interface, to copy a note, at any time. A faster method is to assign keyboard shortcuts to individual notes. Instead of searching for a note and copying its contents, you can just press its designated keyboard combination and the text will be inserted right away, regardless of what application you are running.

You can bring up a key list, on a separate window, in case you forget a combination. Additionally, you may export all notes as a single file, in ASCII or HTML format. Another useful feature is ClipFast's spell checker. You can set it to ignore upper case words or if they contain numbers and you can also import your own dictionaries.

Pros: You can save your notes instantly and paste them in any application. The software allows you to assign keyboard shortcuts to each note, so you can paste them without bringing up the main interface. A spell checker is included as well, which you can adjust according to your needs.

Cons: ASCII and HTML are the only available export formats.

While using ClipFast, you can organize your ideas fast and easy and use them instantly, in any text based application.
